An inkjet printing apparatus includes a mounting unit where a recording medium is mountable, a head unit that ejects ink droplets to the recording medium, a planar direction driving unit that drives at least one of the head unit ejecting the ink droplets and the mounting unit to move in a planar direction and that changes a relative positions of the head unit and the mounting unit in the planar direction, and a height direction driving unit that changes a relative positions of the head unit and the mounting unit in a height direction perpendicular to the planar direction. The planar direction driving unit has a moving speed changing mechanism that changes a carriage speed between the head unit and the mounting unit in the planar direction. The height direction driving unit has a distance changing mechanism that changes a distance between the head unit and the mounting unit.

A printer includes a liquid discharge head configured to discharge a liquid to a print target, a holder configured to hold the print target, and a height detector configured to detect the print target on the holder at a first height and at a second height lower than the first height.

A liquid discharge apparatus includes an apparatus body, a liquid discharge device configured to discharge a liquid, a carriage in the apparatus body, the carriage configured to movably mount the liquid discharge device, a first storage container detachably attached to the carriage, the first storage container configured to store a first liquid, and a second storage container detachably attached to the apparatus body, the second storage container configured to store a second liquid different from the first liquid.

A roller pair includes lower and upper rollers that contact each other at a conveyance path. A platen is located downstream of the roller pair in the conveyance path, and has an end facing toward a surface. A recording head faces the platen from above and ejects ink to a sheet. A movement mechanism moves the platen and the lower roller in conjunction with movement of a tray in a drawing direction such that: the end of the platen moves from a first support position at which the platen supports a sheet to a first lower position at which the platen is separated farther downward from the recording head than at the first support position; and the lower roller moves from a contact position at which the lower roller contacts the upper roller to a second lower position at which the lower roller is separated downward from the upper roller.

Disclosed is a label printer having a driven carrier tape drawing roller; and a guide unit for the carrier tape, said guide unit being pivotably supported about a pivot axle between an operating position and an insertion position for the carrier tape, wherein the guide unit includes a counter-element to the printhead, configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead in the operating position; wherein, in the operating position, the carrier tape is led between the printhead and the counter-element and between the carrier tape drawing roller and the respective carrier tape pressure roller and can in particular be transported along a predefined carrier tape transport path; and wherein, in the insertion position of the guide unit, the counter-element is pivoted away from the printhead and the respective carrier tape pressure roller is pivoted away from the carrier tape drawing roller.

A conveyance control device of the present disclosure is provided with a CPU that controls a platen conveyance mechanism that conveys a platen from a preparation position of the platen to one of a plurality of printers via a pretreatment device that performs pretreatment on a cloth placed on the platen. The CPU performs determination processing of determining which of the plurality of printers the platen is to be conveyed to. Thus, conveyance destinations of the platens are allocated to the plurality of printers. Thus, the conveyance of the platens to a specific printer only is avoided, and a print processing volume in a certain period is increased.

A printer includes a head configured to discharge a liquid onto a print target, and a platen configured to hold the print target. The platen includes multiple supports arrayed in a first direction and in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and each of the multiple supports is configured to movable between a first position and a second position different from the first position.

Provided is a printing device that can accurately perform printing on a recording medium. The printing device includes: a frame member disposed to surround a nail tip; a printing unit configured to perform printing on the nail tip surrounded by the frame member; a communication part configured to acquire print information which is generated based on an image obtained by capturing the frame member and the nail tip and indicates a layout of printing to be applied to the nail tip in a printable region defined by the frame member; and a print control part configured to control the printing unit based on the acquired print information.

An image forming apparatus includes a first light source, a second light source, an optical sensor, a storage, and a hardware processor, wherein the storage stores a first threshold for determining a type of the recording material based on the basis weight, and the hardware processor calculates a first transmittance from the mount of the first emission light and the amount of the first transmission light, calculates a second transmittance from the amount of the second emission light and the amount of the second transmission light, derives a first basis weight corresponding to the first transmittance and a second basis weight corresponding to the second transmittance, by using predetermined determination criteria, determines the type of the recording material based on the first basis weight and the second basis weight, and derives the basis weight according to the determination criteria based on the determined type of the recording material.
